PMG has released Rev. 5 of the Advanced Version of Messiah Studio which has support for interchange with Max 4.* geometry. Plus, the NLA Composer is now working. Just thought some of us who have been waiting for this since New Orleans might want to know. If you currently own or buy a license for messiah:studio, you can get the advanced release version now for just the cost of shipping.
Here’s a link to the thread on the Project Messiah newsgroup at Yahoo about Rev. 5.
